'The thrill is that you're actually figuring it out on your own.
You're engaging with another language, not just parroting it...
It's an excellent way to start, and leaves the listener thinking,
Hey, Ich kann do dis.' - New Yorker, David Sedaris, humorist and
author, on learning Italian with the Michel Thomas Method Looking
for a convenient language course that fits your lifestyle and gets
you speaking a new language in a matter of weeks, not years? The
original no-books, no-homework, no-memorizing method is in tune
with the way the brain prefers to receive, store and retrieve
information. You'll stick with it because you'll love it. This
Taster course is the first hour of the eight-hour Foundation
Italian course. Within this first hour you will learn 50 essential
words of Italian thanks to the Michel Thomas Method, perfected over
50 years by celebrated psycholinguist Michel Thomas. * Pick up
Italian naturally and unforgettably without strain * Learn from
listening and speaking, without the pressure of writing or
memorizing * Build up your Italian in manageable steps by thinking
out answers for yourself * Progress to the full Foundation Italian
course with confidence in the method. WHAT'S NEW? This new edition
includes remastered audio and comes in new, eco-friendly recyclable
packaging. WHY IS THE METHOD SO SUCCESSFUL? 'What you understand,
you know; and what you know, you don't forget.' - Michel Thomas
Before there was machine learning, there was Michel Thomas. For
over 50 years he worked on decoding languages by breaking them down
into their most essential component parts. These 'building blocks'
are introduced to the learner sequentially in such a way that you
reconstruct the language for yourself - to form your own sentences,
to say what you want, when you want. This unique method draws on
the principles of instructional psychology and works with the way
your brain prefers to receive, store and retrieve information.
Knowledge is structured and organized so that you absorb the
language easily and don't forget it. The method is designed to
eliminate the stress which prevents you from relaxing and allowing
the brain to work in the way which accepts learning in a seemingly
painless, very exciting and highly motivating way. HOW DO THE
COURSES WORK? 'All stress inhibits true and effective learning' -
Michel Thomas During the course, you will join Michel Thomas and
two students in a live lesson, learning from both their successes
and their mistakes to keep you motivated and involved throughout
the course. You, as the learner, become the third student and
participate actively in the class. Within the very first hour you
will be able to construct simple phrases by listening and thinking
out answers for yourself without the pressure of writing or stress
of having to memorize. You will learn at your own pace, pausing and
repeating where necessary, and complete the course in about 3-5
hours. WHAT WILL I ACTUALLY ACHIEVE? 'I am the architect who builds
the house. It's up to you to decorate it.' - Michel Thomas The
Michel Thomas Method will help you kick-start, continue, and
flourish in your Italian language learning journey. It is not
intended to get you perfectly fluent, but it will get you speaking
and using Italian, with proper pronunciation, faster than most any
other method. It is designed to give you a strong foundation and
good working knowledge of a language from which you can expand and
later 'add decoration' to. It is a rapid method for learning, but
still requires effort and concentration on the part of the learner.
WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE COURSE?* Start Italian includes one audio
CD. The booklet is available to download from www.michelthomas.com.
